1. Introduction
The Road Sector Development Program created conducive opportunity for the local
construction industry, i.e. Contractors, Consultants and professionals. During the RSDPs
implementation, ERA has set up various programs and procedures so as to enhance the
capacity of the local construction industry with number and capacity with a target of building
the local capacity in all respects.
One of the major task is the development program is enhancing the capacity and number of
local senior professionals to the required level since the professional service were delivered
by foreign exporters in the resent past years. The sector necessitates strong support and
development program to attain the required number and qualified professional to meet the
demand of the sector. However, unless a career development plan is put in place, enhancing
the number of professionals with number and quality could not be achieved rather, it allows
only limited professionals to be engaged on most of ERA projects and further leads to
dependency on overseas experts.
2. Objective
Prepare standardized requirement of project staffs depending on the nature of the projects
To build up a system of succession plan for development of professional from lower to
the higher position or from one key position to the other with smooth career transition

Even if the combination has experts from the Engineering and other disciplines, more focus
is given to the engineering part with number of staffs and input of each expects. In addition,
combination is also focused on the traditional and old way of doing the construction
activities. This implies that the staff combination may require additional input and better
The following section more focused on design and supervision projects on which the major
requirement is capacity and competency of professional. Whereas, only the required
professional qualification and adequacy of professional, including succession plan for the
construction professional are discussed and attached under the annex section since
construction works are basically dependent of the capacity and competency of the contractor
rather than the professionals.
As discussed in the aforesaid section the staff composition of ERA projects has more focus
on the Engineering part with the traditional way of doing the construction business. Through
time, things are in a dynamic situation and the word focus is becoming more on social,
environmental, safety, aesthetic and gender dimensions of projects and as well as
consideration of current technologies.
Accordingly, to respond for the current global concern on project and to fill some
professional gaps on projects, the following new position are recommended to be part of the
project staff combination for design and supervision projects.
Further to consideration of additional professionals, giving sufficient input for the staffs that
are working on social, environmental, safety, aesthetic and gender dimensions of projects is
mandatory to achieve the expected result. Accordingly, the issue of giving reasonable
involvement for such staffs on the project is discussed in the forthcoming section of this
guideline.
4. Succession Plan
Consultancy service basically depends on the qualification of the professionals proposed for
the service as it professional service. Development of professional may be through
progressive stages from lower position to the higher position or by the will of the consultancy
firms to engage graduated professionals from the universities or through some support
program organized by Employers trying to fill the gap of expertise on their projects and as
support of the graduated professional. In the previous time, most of ERA projects were
executed by overseas experts due to lack of sufficient experienced professionals and capable
consulting firms. Through time, ERA thought that unless a senior professional achievement
ladder is developed, no one will come to the key position simply by jumping from the
Junior/Assistance position and this lack of professional experts persist in the country unless a
remedial action is taken by Employers who are suffering from the shortage.
Based on this contemplation, ERA has developed succession plan which assists professional
to come to the key position through a career development or by moving from one key
position to the other. Furthermore, ERA tried to minimize the qualification and adequacy
requirements of professionals for early engagement of professionals on the key positions to
the level without causing serious impact on quality of the expected service. These initiatives
open a level ground for more professionals and today number of senior professionals are
developed through the process.
Even if such efforts have already been done, still there is shortage of professionals in the
sector and there are breaks in the professional development ladder which affects the smooth
career development. Furthermore, some of the ladder requires longer time for professional to
be qualified for the senior position. This reduced the expected level of professional
development and some of the Junior/Assistance or middle level experts are shifting to other
sector rather than waiting longer time to be qualified on for the senior positions.
Accordingly, ERA has revised the existing system to allow smooth career development of
professionals and to creation of job opportunity for graduates and middle level experts
without affecting quality of delivery from the service. The revised secession plan is expected
to respond the following key issues for development of senior experts.
1. Allowing development of professionals from one key senior position to the other
2. Development of key senior professional from junior and assistance positions
3. Introducing new intermediate position in between the senior staff and
junior/assistance staff positions to minimize the extended duration for juniors to
upgrade to a senior position
4. Consideration of new junior position
In the previous supervision service Request for Proposals (RFPs) of ERA, the following
junior staffs are considered to be engaged on permanent basis starting from provision of
Permanent Facilities by the Contractor with zero years of experience for development of
staffs and as job opportunity for graduates.
However, assignment of junior staffs on design projects was disregarded because of the
management issue of engagement of the junior staffs. Now, it is believed that junior staffs are
also required under the design service further to Supervision services to support the career
development and to create job opportunity for new graduates. The good opportunity at this
time is that the Design Directorate in the current ERA structure will monitor deployment of
junior staffs on design projects. As shown above, the junior position is considered only for
limited key experts and shortage of professional on other key position is getting aggravated.
Therefore, additional junior experts for some scarce position and junior staffs for the design
service is approved to be considered in the upcoming projects.
Junior staff of design services will be on all the nine junior staff positions parallel to the key
senior positions as required on the design RFP document.
Normally junior staffs require longer time to be qualified for the senior passion since
experiences obtained as an Assistant/Junior Engineer related to the respective senior staff
position will be considered as equivalent to 50% of the experience that would have been
obtained working as key personnel in the respective position. This situation discourages
Junior/Assistance staffs and leads them to go for other job opportunities after the Employer
have spent a lot of resources for their development. Therefore, unless a remedy is proposed
for this situation it will be an endless process without achieving the expected outcome in a
reasonable time.
To managing the issue and for smooth and fact career development, Intermediate positions
between the senior and the Junior/Assistance position is introduced for the Junior staff
positions. This option helps junior staffs to move to a better position which is more relevant
to the senior position in a shorter period, gives a chance to be part of the decision making
process and let them to be a well paid staff than the junior position.
The qualification requirement for this intermediate position is four Years of experience as
Junior/Assistant or other positions related to the required Intermediate position.
In addition to the provision of junior, Support/Assistant and Intermediate staff positions for
development of senior experts, there should be a way for development of professionals from
one key position to the other or form the client’s and contractor’s staff to the consultant’s
staff. Such development has already been implemented by ERA for the past years and
appreciated outcome has been recorded. However, the actual situation still shows that further
consideration especially from the Contractor side and the Client side can be adopted to
satisfy the demand of senior expert and career development.
The revised succession plan has been prepared considering satisfaction of the professionals
working under the three parties as shown in the table below.
Table 2: Secession plan for development of professionals including new positions (sample for large size projects)
AND
Note:
Experiences of Road Construction shall also including New Road Construction, Rehabilitation, Upgrading and Maintenance Projects
Experience obtained as project manager or material Engineer on URRAP projects will be considered by 60% for the adequacy requirement
as appropriate.
The secession plan is a sample for large size NCB projects and the other options for Medium size and Huge ICB projects are attached as
Annex 1 to this Guideline.
5. Combination of professionals
For the positions with junior staffs, three deferent level professionals are recommended for
smooth and faster transfer career development and as job opportunity for graduates i.e. Junior
Engineer, Engineer (Intermediate position) and Senior Engineer. However, proposing all the
positions in a single project will cause over utilization of professionals and increase project
overhead. Therefore, the following combination is recommended for the cases where there
are three different levels professional in a single position based on the size of the project.
Note:
For the material Engineer; the input of senior material Engineer on Big NCB projects will
be intermittent by 65% input and other senior positions input will be as per section 7 of
this guideline.
As discussed in the aforesaid section, one of the obstacles for engagement of professions on
key position is the expected higher qualification and adequacy criteria. One of the criteria,
the adequacy part has been revised with the provision of succession plan as detailed under
table 2 above. On the other hand it is not reasonable to expect more relaxed criteria which
affect quality of the service delivery rather it is possible to develop different criteria
frameworks depending on the volume and complexity of the assignment. In this regard, ERA
had developed three criteria frameworks by categorizing projects as “Medium Project”,
“Large Project” and “ICB Projects separately for design and supervision services.
Those criteria has been in use for the last three years and different qualification level
professionals has been assigned based on the volume and complexity of projects instead of
waiting got longer time to be a highly qualified senior expert. In the recent years, based on
the government higher attention to the road sector, huge budget has been allocated for the
road sector and the number of projects procured each year becomes numerous and they are
demanding more key experts to fulfill the increasing demand. Furthermore, due to
depreciation of the Birr value, the previously seated criteria framework may require revision.
Therefore, the criteria frameworks for “Medium/Small Project”, “Large Project” and
“Huge ICB Projects” are revised considering availability of professional and buying
capacity of Birr keeping in mind the quality of service to be delivered.
The criteria frameworks are revised and the following criteria frameworks are developed.
Table 4: Threshold of the frameworks based on the current value or length of projects
Applicable Project
I.No. Framework
Value/length
1. Criteria framework for Medium/Small National Competitive
< 1.3 Billion Birr
Bidding (NCB) supervision projects
2. Criteria framework for Big NCB supervision projects > 1.3 Billion Birr
3. Criteria framework for Huge International Competitive > 2 billion Birr of
Bidding (ICB) supervision projects any ICB Projects
4. Criteria framework for Medium/Small NCB Design projects <60 km
5. Criteria framework for Big NCB Design projects > 60 km
6. Criteria framework for Huge (ICB) Design projects Any ICB Projects
Exceptions:
The threshold may be amended depending on the nature of the project or other
considerations with approval of the Contract Award Committee
Concept design of normal projects will be NCB as Medium/Small NCB or Big
NCB projects depending on the length like the design projects
Concept designs of expressway and specially complex projects will be ICB
While defining the frameworks for different value and size of ICB and NCB projects, there
has to be some boundary of hierarchy of requirement that fit for the purpose of professional
development.
The criteria for each staff has two parts i.e. Qualification and adequacy part. The adequacy
part has been revised with the provision of succession plan as detailed under table 2 on
sample Big projects framework and similar it is organized for all the frameworks and
attached under Annex 1. Whereas, the qualification part which comprises of educational
qualification and the general experience need to be further iterated for each framework.
Accordingly the following minimum requirement is set under each category for engagement
of different level professional.
Note:
minimum is the requirement to score the highest mark for the specific criteria and the
professional will be merited according to the rating rang indicated in the detail criteria
the adequacy of the expert for the specific position is already discussed under the
succession plan and attached as Annex 1
The qualification criteria on education and general experiences for the six criteria
frameworks are attached as Annex 2 to this guideline.
Until 2009, there was no system to fix the man month input in a project and it was done by
the Project Engineers to the best of their knowledge. This situation causes overestimation or
less consideration of professional input on projects. The situation was more common in the
case of intermittent staff positions since the Project Engineers are not well aware about the
complicity of the project. While this is coupled with workload limitation of professionals, it
may make some professional over stretched because of under estimated man month input or
limited from being assigned on sufficient projects because of overestimated man month
input. Therefore, while fixing the workload of professionals on projects after 2009, a
standard procedure of input calculation was developed and it is under implementation for
past three years. However, with the current revisions, it is required to revise the man month
input calculation to tally with the other proposals.
The table bellows shoes the calculation of man month input for each professional depending
on the project classification.
Table 6: Estimated man-month input requirements of the supervision consultant staff for Big
NCB projects
Table 7: Estimated man-month input requirements of the Supervision Consultant staff for
Medium-Small Projects
Table 8: Estimated man-month input requirements of the Supervision Consultant staff for ICB
projects
a. The man month input may be amended considering the three optional design review
procedures
i. Full design review before works tender floating
ii. Tender document and Engineers Estimate review before works tender floating
iii. Design review parallel to works tender floating
b. The Ranges indicated above are only for guidance purpose, the man-month of the staffs
indicated in ranges may be fixed based on the value of the works, length of the project, type
of contract, physical nature of the project area, and extent of activities involved specifically
related to each position. The Counterpart may even allocate a Man-month higher or slightly
less from what has been indicated above if it can be justified considering the points
mentioned above.
c. Man-month (No. of Posts for support positions) of support staffs may also be increased
depending on the length of the project and value of activities related to the positions.
Note:
x = Phase I Design Duration in Months
Table 10: Estimated man-month input requirements of the Concept Design Consultant staff
Note:
x = Concept Design Duration in Months
a. The Ranges indicated above are only for guidance purpose, the peson-month of
the staffs indicated in ranges may be fixed based on the value of the works,
length of the project, type of contract, physical nature of the project area, and
anticipated extent of activities involved specifically related to each position. The
Counterpart may even allocate a Person-month higher or slightly less from what
has been indicated above if it can be justified considering the points mentioned
above.
8. Workload Limitation
Overstretched professionals are not delivering their assignment with the expected quality
standard. Furthermore, assessments show that if a professional is overstretched with very
high workload:
Affects development of the professional and they are limited on standard reporting
templates rather than adopting detailed project specific studies
Affect job distribution and most assignments may be handled by limited staffs
Reduced quality of deliverable
The professional couldn’t be available while there are required on projects
Because of the above and other issues, ERA has developed a system to manage workload of
professional as follows:
Professional who has reached the above limit of engagement on ERA projects cannot be
proposed on new tenders unless he/she satisfies the conditions discussed below.
1. A professional who has reached the above limited can participate on this or other new
tenders if at least his/her one of current commitments on ERA projects completed at
least 70%. Otherwise, the proposed staff should submit a letter from ERA with the
proposal that indicates the staff could leave the project before completion or before at
least 70 % completion of the project fulfilling the conditions mentioned under clause
67 of the Conditions of contract or if he/she submit a letter from ERA with the proposal
that confirms its part/duty on the Projects is substantially completed (at least 70%
completed)
2. The workload data to be considered for evaluation purpose is for the month of two
months prior to the proposal submission month. (e.g. for proposal submitted on
December, we will consider ERA’s workload data of October)
3. A project will be considered as a workload of the proposed professionals starting from
the date signing of the contract by the Consultant and ERA.
4. In the standard CV format attached under Section 4: Bidding Forms, B. Financial
Proposal - Standard Forms, 2. Financial Proposal - Form F2; each individual should
indicated
i. The projects they have at hand
ii. The %age completion of each project
iii. The %age completion of specific assignment of the staff on the project
iv. The position on the current projects
The proposed staff engagement on any of the key professional position will be considered
even if it is not similar with the current proposal.
If the information declared under the CV of the proposed key personnel in relation to the
completion of professional’s assignment or progress of the project or the number of
projects the profession involves in design or supervisions is found to be incorrect, the act
is considered to be “Fraudulent Practice” as defined under Clause 3.1 of ITC and
subsequently the proposed CV will be merited zero. Furthermore, ERA may take
appropriate measure on the proposed person and on the firm. Hence, bidders should take
precautions while preparation of the CV and should aware their proposed personnel of the
seriousness of the matter and advise them to duly and professionally prepare the CV
correctly.
If the proposed professional of the successful firm get engaged on other project during the
tendering period and attain the maximum limit of ERA projects workload, he should be
replaced by other equivalent or highly qualified staff during negotiation of the contract with
sufficient justification
ERA has defined the minimum task assignment and responsibilities of staffs engaged on
projects from the senior position up to the support staff. The task assignment and
responsibilities assigned by ERA is the minimum expected by ERA and consultants may
come up with their additional task keeping ERA’s minimum requirement. Currently an
Intermediate position is proposed for some key positions and the staff on this position should
share some task assignment and responsibilities from the senior staff since the staff is
expected to have at least have four years of experience.
General Tasks and Responsibilities for the three positions of a single position is as shown
below. However, the detailed Tasks and Responsibilities of all the staffs are attached as
Annex 3 to this guideline.
